Wang Zhong spoke, his face as black as ink and wrinkled like trenches, yet still full of admiration: "I have not deceived you in the slightest about your qi movement, your qi movement is indeed unmatched in ten thousand ages! In fact, I am not the only one fishing here, there were some astonishingly talented geniuses before me, including some young talents who have tried to fish here. But even after hundreds or thousands of years have passed, they could catch goldfish, but never the rainbow goldfish! Only you... as soon as you appeared, the rainbow goldfish came."

"If you hadn't told me at the time, I certainly wouldn't have known about this. You could have taken the rainbow scales for yourself in secret," Chu Mo looked coldly at Wang Zhong: "That thing, others can't use it... must be nonsense, right?"

"No, no, no, let me answer your latter question first. Indeed, others cannot use it! Because they simply do not know how to use it! They are just descendants of criminals. What would they know?" Wang Zhong's face wore a hint of scorn, then he turned to Chu Mo: "As for your earlier question, it's even easier to answer. How could someone with your qi movement not possess exceptional treasures? This kind of question does not even require consideration! There must be unimaginable treasures on you! If I had sneakily taken the rainbow scales at that time, then where would I have gotten the chance to scheme for your possessions? How could I have gained your trust?"

Chu Mo was stunned for a moment, then somewhat speechlessly, he gave a bitter smile: "You have a point, I have no words to argue."

"What I never expected though was that you would have a deep hatred with Ding Ling. This... is also one of the reasons I must target you," Wang Zhong looked at Chu Mo: "My relationship with Ding Ling is closer than that of real brothers! I have always been waiting for him to enter the Supreme Realm, to find a way to come here to rescue me. Unexpectedly, you cut off his path to becoming supreme! Although I now have the ability to go out on my own and leave this damn place, as a brother, I must seek revenge for him."

Wang Zhong said, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he looked at Chu Mo: "Young man, are you convinced now?"

"Convinced, thoroughly convinced!" Chu Mo said very sincerely: "It's not easy to be as insidiously evil as you, senior. Additionally, your acting skills are incredibly brilliant, I think even if you can't cultivate, you'd have no problem acting in a play!"

"Enough, stop talking about such useless things," Wang Zhong looked at Chu Mo indifferently: "The reason I explained the cause and effect to you is, first, to make you give up hope; second, it's to give you a proper lesson, to remember not to trust anyone easily."

"Senior, you're not planning to kill me?" Chu Mo asked Wang Zhong, lightly.

"Kill you? What for? Do you know that, in this forsaken place, surviving takes even more courage than dying," Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Of course, if you don't cooperate at all, then I'm sorry, I might have to employ some methods."

"Torture? Intimidation?" Chu Mo looked at Wang Zhong.

"Yes, if it's put into words, it's just those few kinds over and over. But if it comes to action... the variety is much more!" Wang Zhong said, his eyes sparking with excitement.

Chu Mo sighed: "Even in the Heavenly Realm, you are a great figure who is still reputed until this day, does it not bring you any guilt to treat me this way?"

"Of course, it does," Wang Zhong sighed: "Doing such things, I shall feel immense guilt and will be repenting day and night. Rest assured, if you have any unresolved matters outside, leave them to me. I can even swear by my primordial spirit, I will surely help you with them! So, although I am brothers with Ding Ling, I am not the same as him! Doing evil deeds... I do feel ashamed."

Wang Zhong continued, looking earnestly at Chu Mo: "But what I want more is to leave this place! What I want even more is to obtain powerful treasures!"

"What treasures could a minor cultivator like me have that would interest you?" Chu Mo gave a wry smile.

"At this point, what's the point of lying to me?" Wang Zhong looked at Chu Mo: "Even the Heaven Slaying divine weapon has appeared in your hands, to say you're a regular minor cultivator, I'm afraid a trillion regular cultivators in this world would cry to death: who's like you?"

"Alright, so you're saying, you just want the treasures on me, and don't actually want to kill me, is that it?" Chu Mo asked Wang Zhong gravely.

"Of course!" Wang Zhong answered very straightforwardly, but in his heart, he sneered: How can they say young people are pure and naive? At this point... whether you hand over your treasures or not, how could I possibly let you go? Keeping a young genius like you with such earth-shattering qi movement around, wouldn't that be absurd?

But Wang Zhong's acting skill has always been his finest talent!

Even though back in the day, his cultivation level had already surpassed that of an emperor, making him a nearly invincible being, what he took most pride in... was still his acting skill!

Some say that for an evil person, pretending to be good for a day is easy, but the hard part is pretending for a lifetime!

It's not just difficult—it's nearly impossible!

Because no matter who it is, if they could pretend to be good from childhood all the way until death, then... they really are a good person. Even if their heart is filled with evil, all they do are good deeds. Until they die. Who would consider such a person bad?

Wang Zhong is almost like that!

In the Heavenly Realm, the reputation that has followed him until today is that almost no one speaks of him as a bad person.

Hating evil as if it was an enemy, punishing evil and promoting goodness, helping the distressed and aiding those in need... This is simply the model of a cultivator!

But Wang Zhong is crystal clear about what kind of person he is in his heart.

"I am a bad person. A thorough and outright bad person. The reason for not doing bad things is that there's no necessity. If it really becomes necessary, then I can do the most evil thing in this world!"

This is Wang Zhong's true inner voice.

Therefore, when he deceives people, he is simply invincible. Every deception hits the mark!

Even someone like Chu Mo, who had never heard of him, could be influenced by his demeanor, and unwittingly fall for his tricks.

Chu Mo watched Wang Zhong quietly, "Although I really want to believe what you've said, my intuition tells me that from the beginning until now, you've been harboring the intention to kill me. The reason you've been talking so much nonsense with me without making a move is partly because you want to extract more useful information from me; on the other hand, it's because you're overly cautious. You believe your paralyzing tea is strong enough, but you still don't dare to guarantee with one hundred percent certainty that I will be affected by it. Thus, within your words, you've left yourself enough room to maneuver. If I truly haven't been affected, if I still have the power to strike back, then... I would spare your life. Heh, Senior Wang Zhong, it must be said, you are indeed formidable!"

Wang Zhong's eyes flickered with a complex look as he stared at Chu Mo. After a long while, he chuckled coldly a few times, "You've got it all right. So what? Paralyzing tea? That's not a bad name! However, I prefer to call it 'Immortal's Intoxication'!"

-----------------

Another outburst at the sixth night watch!

This is already my limit, the limit my body can bear at the moment. Tomorrow... is the last day of the month, and I will still have an outburst!

I really don't want to lose, don't want to fall on the last day. I know I have no right to ask anything of everyone, subscribing is already the greatest support.

But I really, really, really don't want to be overtaken on the last day again.

So, if you still have monthly tickets, please cast them for Heaven Slaying Blade!

Whether it's the past, present, or future, I will not let you down.

Thank you!
